Hey everyone! I figured I give an update on my situation and life. I think I finally have the desmopressin pills down: my problem was taking the pills with a lot of water and a meal. I found that these pills will always work if I only have a few sips of water. There are side effects like being gassy and a few aches here and there but not too much. When I feel I've taken too much for one week I switch over to the North Shore briefs. This seems to be working well and the accidents are to a minimum with a few slipups. I've also taken Snow's advice with their disposable bed pad technique and that helps to keep the washing days at bay.
As for my doctor, I still haven't called but I think I will when the pills start to run out. By then I'll be able to give her a complete rundown of how they worked with me. A side note: I was also going to try a therapist to see if the problem lies mentally but unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover the cost so I'll have to try somewhere else and I already have trust issue so we'll see!
Lastly I'm going to be starting classes and clinicals this fall so I'll be on here less but I am still here! This community has helped me realize a lot of things and given so much advice and I only hope to return the favor with what little I have in information.
I hope you all have a great day! On my side of town, the weather is getting chillier so I'm starting to bundle up. If that's the same with you, I hope you bundle up too!
